Chapter 1006 : A Wanderer's Legacy Across the Purple Realm

With the assistance of Thalion Chen, this wisp of incarnation belonging to Eldrin Chen personally took action. Within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, he laid down a grand formation, intending to nurture a Divine Soul [the highest spiritual essence of a being] for Eastern Sovereign.

To ensure the successful gestation of Eastern Sovereign's Divine Soul, he did not hesitate to expend a strand of Acquired Primordial Violet Qi [a supreme-grade spiritual energy of cosmic origin], infusing it into Eastern Sovereign's True Spirit [the core spiritual consciousness].

After handling this matter, Old Granduncle inquired, "When will you depart?"

"In these coming days."

Eldrin Chen sighed softly before speaking.

Having said this, he rose and left the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire. Before his departure, he wished to wander through the Purple Realm, and in passing, leave behind some Deep-Seated Foundation [a profound and enduring legacy to strengthen a region's spiritual heritage] for the land.

Bidding farewell to Old Granduncle, he traversed the Eastern Wastelands, crossed the Boundless Eastern Sea, passed through the Western Pole Eternal Sands Domain, and journeyed across the Southern Peaks and the Northern Wastes.

Along his path, he met with various Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for fellow cultivators], retraced the steps of lands visited in days past, and beheld the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Purple Realm.

Several Millennium [a period of one thousand years] passed in the blink of an eye. Some of Eldrin Chen's old friends had long since passed away in meditation, while others had endured and lived to see this day.

The Drifting Snow Palace in the Extreme Northern Ice Plains flourished ever more, boasting twelve Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul] within its sect, and was further anchored by a Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator of immense power approaching divinity]. It had become one of the most formidable powers beneath the heavens. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio~novel.com.

Peng the Roc Demon Sage secluded himself in cultivation within the North Abyss Sea Eye. It seemed that amidst the great cataclysm, he had gained enlightenment regarding his future path, faintly acquiring a bearing reminiscent of a Demon God [a supreme being of immense demonic power].

Having long resided in the Western Pole Lands, the Tranquil Spirit Temple gradually restored its former glory. Relying on the incomplete Arhat Sutra [a scripture detailing the path to Arhat-hood] provided by Eldrin Chen, the Demon-Subduing Divine Monk had cultivated a Demi-Immortal [a being halfway to true immortality] physique. Unfortunately, the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk had not yet recovered the memories of his past life.

Within the Southern Sea Cultivation World, the Separated Flame Daoist established his own sect, taking the title of Master of the Violet Flame Divine Palace. His cultivation had also advanced to the Seventh Layer of Nascent Soul.

Seeing that most of his old friends from bygone days were safe and well, Eldrin Chen felt a profound sense of relief settle in his heart. Without disturbing these former companions further, he prepared to depart for the Eastern Wastelands.

"Hmm."

Just as he was passing by the Dao Palace Sacred Land, his footsteps faltered for a moment, and a subtle tremor passed between his brows.

With a single step, he traversed the distance and arrived atop the Back Mountain of the Dao Palace Sacred Land.

"Screech—"

The summit of the Back Mountain within the Dao Palace was shrouded in boundless, swirling mists.

This was the former seclusion ground of the Master of the Dao Palace, and one of the foremost immortal Sacred Land [a place of immense spiritual power and significance] within the Purple Realm.

Within the mountain resided an Immortal Crane [a sacred avian beast of immense longevity and grace], its form elegant and slender, its bearing noble and sanctified, its cultivation a mighty Primordial Spirit Realm [the Nascent Soul stage, where one's spiritual essence forms a separate, powerful entity] that commanded awe across the land.

Ever since the Master of the Dao Palace [the former master of this sacred site] entered eternal seclusion, the Immortal Crane had sealed away the contingency measures here, forbidding outsiders from Initial Entry [a technique or state allowing one to perceive and enter hidden realms]. Unnoticed, over a Millennium [a period of one thousand years] had passed without any disturbance.

Yet on this day, upon the Back Mountain [the secluded rear peak], the Immortal Crane suddenly let out a cry of profound alarm.

It beat its wings in shock, gazing at the transcendent being before it whose brow was etched with a silver immortal mark, and for once lowered its proud head in deference.

"Young friend Yun Zhongzi, it has been many years. I trust you have been well."

Eldrin Chen cast a calm glance at the Immortal Crane and allowed a faint smile to touch his lips.

The Yun Zhongzi [the Immortal Crane's name, meaning 'Child of the Clouds'], his expression one of startled reverence, bowed his head respectfully. "This one greets the Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality]. May the Immortal enjoy eternal blessings and celestial fortune."

"There is no need for such formality."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, offering no further words, and simply continued his stride forward.

In but a few steps, he ascended to the summit of the Back Mountain, arriving upon a windswept cliff.

Upon the cliff, a bamboo hut stood in serene silence. Beside it grew an ancient tree, and beneath its boughs, a Daoist [a practitioner of the Dao, the fundamental path of cultivation and enlightenment] sat cross-legged, his gaze lifting to meet the newcomer's.

This figure was none other than the Master of the Dao Palace [the master of a sacred palace dedicated to the study and practice of the Dao]. He had perished in ages past, only for his Divine Soul [the highest, most refined form of a cultivator's spiritual essence] to be revived through the profound immortal arts of Eldrin Chen, allowing him to be reborn through the Reincarnation Tribulation [a perilous trial of death and rebirth to attain a new life].

"I pay my respects to the Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality, transcending mortal limits]."

Upon seeing Eldrin Chen, the Master of the Dao Palace swiftly rose to his feet and offered a formal bow.

Eldrin Chen waved his sleeve, gently halting the gesture. He shook his head with a calm, yet heavy sigh. "In my early years, before my path was fully forged, my journey was fraught with hardship. That I stand here today is owed entirely to the guidance and support of many venerable predecessors."

"And among those elders, aside from Riverlord Chang and Dao Lord Magnus, your efforts were also of immense significance." This novel is serialized on audi0-n0vel.c0m. Visit for updates.

"That you have reclaimed the memories of your past life brings me profound solace. It feels as if a longstanding weight upon my heart has finally been lifted."

Only then did the Master of the Dao Palace nod in acknowledgment. He invited Eldrin Chen to sit and personally prepared a pot of tea. "The path of cultivation," he began, "is inherently one of mutual aid and support."

"In the past, I guarded your Dao. And you, in quelling the great calamity, did you not also protect all of us in turn?"

Eldrin Chen offered no direct reply. Instead, he simply took a shallow, contemplative sip of the tea.

He pondered briefly before speaking, "Before this parting, I traversed the Northern Abyssal Sea, crossed the Western Pole Eternal Sands Domain, and beheld the visages of many former Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for fellow cultivators]."

"I observed that numerous Fellow Daoist possess profoundly solid foundations. Within the next several tens of thousands of years, the Purple Realm [the name of this vast cultivation world] will likely give rise to a few more Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality]."

Upon hearing this, the Master of the Dao Palace was momentarily taken aback, then nodded after a pause.

In every era of great turmoil, heroes inevitably rise across the land, giving birth to many rare and exceptional talents.

The Purple Realm has endured a great calamity spanning eighty thousand years. Throughout these eighty millennia, Heaven's Chosen [individuals blessed by heaven with exceptional talent] and True Dragon [supreme dragon-type demonic beasts] have emerged one after another, birthing far too many peerless heroes of this age.

The Eastern Sovereign pioneered the second volume of the Fleshly Body Ascension [a cultivation method focused on physical body refinement] within the Purple Realm, his innate talent in the path of physical cultivation can be described as a sight unseen in a million years.

Jiang the Sovereign Emperor cultivated dual paths to Ascending to Immortality [the realm of becoming an immortal]. Looking across the two hundred Immortal throughout the ancient and modern history of the Purple Realm, he would likely rank within the top ten.

The former master of Myriad Tribulations Thunder Mountain deduced the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Scripture in life, and after death sought to defy heaven itself by creating a divine being, 'Myriad Tribulations Thunder God'. His genius and talent were also exceedingly rare across the ages.

The old Gravetender possesses world-shaking cultivation, having mastered the three paths of the physical body, the Laws of the Dao [profound principles of the Great Dao], and the Dao Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation path], each reaching the Half-Immortal Realm [the Demi-Immortal realm]. Is he not also a peerless Heaven's Chosen, one seen only once in a hundred thousand years?

As for the remaining peerless heavenly demons like the Yi Wood Azure Dragon and the Primordial Ice Silkworm, do they not also possess the bearing of future Demon God [supreme demonic deities]?

Throughout these tens of thousands of years of cataclysm, within the Purple Realm, heroes have risen in great numbers, and far too many Heaven's Chosen have burst onto the scene.

Although the pressure brought by the cataclysm was utterly terrifying, causing most of these exceptional talents to fall amidst the calamity.

Yet, those who survived have been tempered through countless trials and tribulations. Any one of them can be considered a peerless genius of a generation, possessing the potential to glimpse the possibility of Ascension to Immortality Realm.

After pondering for a moment, the Master of the Dao Palace could not help but ask, "In your esteemed view as an Immortal, who among them is most likely to ultimately achieve Ascending to Immortality?"

"Those with the hope of Ascending to Immortality?"

Eldrin Chen did not answer immediately. After a brief, thoughtful pause, he said, "Ancestor Black Tortoise of the Eastern Sea [the ancient progenitor of the Black Tortoise lineage from the Eastern Sea], I suspect he may achieve Ascending to Immortality within a few Millennium."

The Master of the Dao Palace was somewhat surprised by this answer but quickly nodded in understanding.

As one of the most ancient existences within the Purple Realm, Ancestor Black Tortoise has accumulated a Deep-Seated Foundation [a profound and unshakable cultivation base] over nearly two hundred thousand years. Both his Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by practitioners] and physical body are considered peerless under the heavens.

For tens of thousands of years, he was hindered by old injuries from attempting Ascending to Immortality. Furthermore, the Black Tortoise lineage possesses exceptionally long lifespans and thus was never in a hurry to attempt the Ascending to Immortality breakthrough.

A few years prior, Eldrin Chen intervened with the power of Immortal Dao Laws [the fundamental principles and edicts that govern the Immortal Dao], healing the Ancestor Black Tortoise's long-standing afflictions. It seems the day of his Ascending to Immortality may no longer be far off.

After speaking of Ancestor Black Tortoise, Eldrin Chen pointed towards the direction of the Extreme Northern Ice Plains and said, "The Primordial Ice Silkworm is a mysterious immortal seed from the Frigid Immortal Domain [a legendary realm of eternal frost and ice], brought back to the Purple Realm by an Ancient Immortal. Its origins are shrouded in profound implications best left unspoken."

"Now it slumbers deep within the glaciers, accumulating its foundation for hundreds of thousands of years. Upon its next awakening, it shall immediately Ascending to Immortality [achieve the state of an immortal, transcending mortality]."

Though Eldrin Chen had deduced some threads of the Primordial Ice Silkworm's origins, he was unwilling to become entangled in its karma and thus refrained from saying more. Published by audio-novel . com. All rights reserved.
